Dale was the son of the late John and Loretta Karabinos and brother to the late Laverne (Ludwig) DelMastro, the late Joyce Karabinos, and John (Jack) (Sally) Karabinos, III.
Dale was a big family man, who found his greatest joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren. His love for his family was evident in every aspect of his life, from the big Sunday dinners he would organize to the quiet moments he spent with his loved ones. His family was his world, and he was theirs.
In addition to his love for his family, Dale had a passion for music. His love for music was infectious, and he passed this love down to his children and grandchildren, creating a family bond that will continue to live on.
Dale also had a love for travel with family, particularly trips to Las Vegas and Ocean City. He enjoyed the excitement and energy of the cities, but more than anything, he loved the memories he created with his family on these trips. His calm spirit and zest for life were truly inspiring.
A handyman at heart, Dale enjoyed DIY house projects. He took pride in his work and found joy in creating something with his own two hands. His projects were a testament to his dedication, patience, and creativity.
